Sonja Craighead Just Had A Supernatural Experience In Which She Was Shown A Devastating Future Attack On America
January 6, 2022
There is so much “prophetic chatter” in the Christian world today, but most of it comes from charlatans that have never actually had any supernatural experiences with God at all. And when their “prophecies” inevitably fail, it makes the entire prophetic community look bad. But of course there are others that actually do have very real supernatural experiences with God in which they are shown things about the future. One such individual is my friend Sonja Craighead. Those that have followed my work for a long time are already familiar with her, and some of the things that she has been shown over the years have already come to pass. So I would take what she has to say very seriously. …
The following is what Sonja just sent to my wife and I…
Hello Michael and Meranda:
Warning to G-d’s American Remnant of Coming Attack.
1-6-22
Yesterday I had a mini vision of something so devastating that I struggle to find words to describe it. It is a coming event that will nearly destroy America.
I saw coming from the Gulf of Mexico out of the beautiful ocean views – a series of very fast moving things that I don’t know what they are. They were coming out of the ocean from off the coast of Florida, west to below Houston, off the coast of Texas. They went up and arched in the sky, then they went inland into the US and then came down on US cities. They began close to the Florida panhandle and in nearly, but not quite concurrent order, they ended at Houston. Houston will take a direct hit. I don’t know how many cities will be hit or the exact location of the other cities other than Houston, because it all caught me off guard due to the rapid speed of this event. I think they hit 6 or 8 US cities, nearly at the same time. Total destruction by massive fireballs and explosions larger than I’ve ever seen with horrific waves of heat going miles in every direction of where they landed – igniting everything close to these terrible heat waves on fire with huge fireball explosions that reached hundreds of feet into the air. Cities and towns were just suddenly gone and intense explosions were all going on at the same time. I didn’t comprehend what was happening because of the speed of how fast it happened. No warning. No time to evacuate. No time to escape this terrible fate. It was so catastrophic it’s hard for me to describe it in words. There wasn’t debris after these explosions of fire, there was just huge intense fires burning nothing, because nothing was left. It all only took just a few seconds. Watching this – I was so surprised I just silently stood there watching in silent horror. It sickened me. I shook, became chilled, and cried, all in just the few seconds that this vision lasted. I needed hours of time alone before I could even tell my husband, Dave, what I was shown. …
Someday the Russians will conduct a lightning fast nuclear strike from submarines that have stationed themselves all along our coastlines.
Like many Protestants, Michael Snyder has been expecting WWIII to be led by Russia against the USA and others. He considers that Sonja Craighead is a true prophet of God, but I do not (see also How To Determine If Someone is a True Prophet of God).

As Russian Tanks Move Toward Ukraine, The Globe Braces For The Possibility That World War 3 Could Soon Erupt
March 31, 2021
At this hour, more Russian military forces are massed near Ukraine’s borders than we have ever seen before. Western military leaders say that they are concerned that the troop movements that we have witnessed in recent days may be leading up to an invasion, and if an invasion does happen it will greatly test the resolve of the Biden administration, EU leaders and NATO brass. In particular, the hawks in the Biden administration would almost certainly not be willing to just sit back and let the Russians conquer all of Ukraine. There would likely be a major response by the United States, and that could set off a chain reaction that could ultimately spark World War 3.
So what made the Russians suddenly move a massive invasion force toward Ukraine?
Well, it turns out that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky essentially signed a declaration of war against Russia on March 24th. The document that he signed is known as Decree No. 117/2021, and you won’t read anything about it in the corporate media. …
Basically, this decree makes it the official policy of the government of Ukraine to retake Crimea from Russia.
Of course the Russians will never hand over Crimea willingly because they consider it to be Russian territory, and so Ukraine would have to take it by force.
This is essentially a declaration of war against Russia, and Zelensky would have never signed such a document without the approval of the Biden administration. …
The Russians are taking Zelensky’s declaration of war very seriously, but the corporate media in the western world is blaming “Russian aggression” for the increase in tensions in the region.
But the truth is that the Russians never would have made any of these moves if warmongers in the Biden administration had not given Zelensky the green light to sign Decree No. 117/2021. 03/31/21 http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/as-russian-tanks-move-toward-ukraine-the-globe-braces-for-the-possibility-that-world-war-3-could-soon-erupt/
Changes are going to occur in the relationship between Ukraine and Russia (see also Russia and Ukraine: Their Origins and Prophesied Future).
Some believe WWIII is in its beginning stages. Several years back, the interim Ukrainian Prime Minister in Kiev stated:
April 25, 2014
“The world has not yet forgotten World War Two, but Russia already wants to start World War Three,” Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk told lawmakers on Friday in remarks broadcast around the country. Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement in Geneva last week calling on all parties in the country to lay down arms and vacate public buildings, but neither side moved to abide by the agreement’s terms. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-accuses-west-of-trying-to-seize-ukraine/
In March of 2014, a study found that over one in five Germans believed that Russia’s intervention in Crimea could start WWIII (see Russian nuclear threat against USA, Crimea, EU, and WWIII).
Yet, even if we see major military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, this is NOT the start of WWIII.
WWIII will essentially be an attack by the European King of the North Beast power against the USA, Canada, and the UK.
As far as the Biden-Harris Administration goes, it seems to relish making statements and taking actions that oppose Russia (see also AP: Putin points finger at US after Biden’s ‘killer’ remark; Konstantin Kosachyov wants ‘an apology from the American side’).
USA actions and policies will not only be factor in Europe doing this, but will likely be a factor in getting Russia to somehow assist Europe.
This will, ultimately, have major negative effects on the USA–as Germany will be at the forefront of destroying the USA (cf. Isaiah 10:5-12).
While many Protestant prophecy watchers believe that Russia is the power to now watch related to WWIII, notice something that the late Pastor General of the old Worldwide Church of God, Hebert Armstrong, wrote decades ago, during the time of the old Soviet Union, in an article titled Why Russia Will Not Attack the United States:
For decades now, the prospect of war between Russia and the United States has continually heightened and lessened.
Many who claim to be authorities on prophecy assure people a war involving Russia and the United States, Canada and England is prophesied in Ezekiel 38.
The United States, Britain and other democracies of north-western Europe, they recognize, are nations descended from the lost Ten Tribes. Therefore, they conclude, the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 foretells a military invasion of the North American continent from the Soviet Union. But this is not what prophecy says…
But this very fact – that this invasion will not come until after the Second Coming of Christ – will seem preposterous to many, at first thought.
That is because we have been accustomed merely to assume things that are not true. We have blindly assumed that when Christ comes, there will be no opposition. Every person and power on earth, we have thought, will simply submit meekly and instantly to him and his power. But that is not true!
Some gentile nations understandably shall not submit until forced to. The final restoration of the Roman Empire shall be subdued and conquered at a battle commonly called “Armageddon.” But the populous nations of Eurasia that the Almighty God up to this point has not dealt with shall still have to be brought to submission.
“Gog” Identified “Gog in the land of “Magog” is the vast regions of the U.S.S.R. in northern Eurasia extending from the Baltic to the Pacific. “Meshech” is Moscow, “Tubal” is Tobol’sk.Notice the allies who come with them in this future battle. You will find “Gomer” “Togarmah,” “Magog,” “Meshech” “Tubal” identified in Genesis 10 as the sons of Japheth, father of the Eurasians. Ethiopia and Phut (mistranslated Libya) are descended from Ham.
Therefore, this prophecy of Ezekiel 38 shows who shall finally succeed in marshaling peoples of each major race into a gigantic invasion upon our people.
When God begins to rule the world, through Christ – with His chosen people restored to prosperity in the land of Israel, the very center of the land surface of the earth (verse 12, Moffatt translation) – this, great Eurasian union of nations shall finally be tempted to use their mighty air force. (Armstrong HW. Why Russia Will Not Attack the United States, article).
Some Bible scholars assert falsely that these prophecies of Ezekiel were fulfilled anciently. They never were. Others believe they are about to occur but some years before Armageddon. Both views are erroneous. The events of Ezekiel 38 and 39 are without question still future – for the “latter days” (38: 16) and “latter years” (38:8). Moreover, Ezekiel 38:14 describes the time setting as being “in that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely.” This is certainly not the situation in the State of Israel to- day! The Israel described by Ezekiel is a nation that dwells in security, in unwalled villages, totally unprepared for war (38:8, 11, 14). Read it for yourself! (Why Russia Will Not Attack the United States. WCG booklet)
Ezekiel 38 is for the distant future–after the millennium (cf. Revelation 20:7-9; see also Ezekiel 38: For Russia & Iran in Our Day?; a related video is also available titled Ezekiel 38: For Russia, Ukraine, & Iran Now?).
But that does not mean that there cannot be military conflict between the USA and Russia now (and there may be some).
Despite difficulties between Germany and Russia (like the poisoning allegations (see Russia summons German envoy over Navalny poisoning allegations), Russia and Germany will ultimately cooperate–for a while. Even earlier this week, there was a new aspect of COVID cooperation:
March 31, 2021
France and Germany held discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin last night to supply doses of the country’s Sputnik Covid vaccine as suspicions over the Astrazeneca jab continue to proliferate across the continent.
French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel held a video call with the Russian premier to discuss “co-operation” over vaccine supplies. …
Russia has already signed a deal with Swiss company Adienne Pharma & Biotech, allowing a subsidiary to begin producing the Sputnik vaccine in Italy by July.
Merkel said last week: “On the Russian vaccine, I have been of the opinion for some time that we should use any vaccine that has been approved by the European medicines regulator.” https://www.cityam.com/france-and-germany-swoop-to-buy-russias-sputnik-vaccine/
There will be more cooperation between Russia and Europe than simply the vaccine or the Nord Stream pipeline (see also: Nord Stream 2 and other European moves away from the USA: USA too damaged to lead?).
Back in 1962, notice something from two articles that the old Radio Church of God published:
Modern Europe is counseling and making treaties and alliances and agreements to conquer this earth! … Germany, those living in Germany, even the German government, may not yet know that they are going to join in a treaty with the Russians to destroy the United States and bring it to its knees-it is not in his “heart” to think so, but on the other hand it IS in his “heart” to destroy-the very characteristic of the Assyrian, the modern German, is a harsh, cruel, iron, dedication to militarism and destruction! … MAN’S ONLY HOPE LIES IN TURNING TO HIS CREATOR GOD! “At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom. to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, TURN FROM THEIR EVIL, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them… Behold, I frame evil against YOU, and devise a device against YOU: return ye now EVERY ONE from his evil way and make your ways and your doings good!” (Jer. 18:7, 8, 11). The case of America and Great Britain is hopeless! The case of America and Great Britain is hopeless! (Hill DJ, God’s Destiny for Germany. Plain Truth, March 1962, pp. 28-29)
The German people are now asking themselves: “Can we rely on the Americans and British?” … These questions lead to the logical conclusion that maybe the only people the Germans can rely on themselves. They are now thinking: “Perhaps we can strike a better bargain with the Russians ourselves.” …
Once a German-dominated Europe is fully established, Germany will be ready to negotiate and bargain with Russia– and behind the backs of the Western Allies if necessary. …
When will a Russo-German deal be made? Here is a quotation from a circular letter issued in September, 1950 by the Nazi Geo-political Center in Madrid: “However long we may continue to milk the Americans of millions of dollars, there must come the inevitable moment when we shall have to make it crystal clear to them that we are not willing to join the fight against Russia for American interests … (Germany Plots with the Kremlin by T H. Terens, p. 15). …
Most Americans and Britons are not aware of what Germany and Europe are planning against them. This is partly due to the cunning of German. politics. …
World events are moving swiftly toward the climax when Great Britain and the United. States will be attacked, conquered and DESTROYED! (Boraker R. Are the Germans Secretly Dealing with Moscow? Plain Truth, May 1962, pp. 45-47)
Yes, I, too, expect that Russia will make a deal with the Europeans. And this will impact the USA, UK, and their British-descended allies.
The tweet at the beginning of this post is from Jens Stoltenberg, a Norwegian who is in charge of NATO. Jens Stoltenberg does not want war with Russia and would prefer cooperation.
Because of military and political considerations, the European King of the North might be inclined to give Russia all or parts of Alaska as well as possibly parts of Canada, as well as some people from those lands.
While WWIII will mainly be a war between Europe and the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39) and its Anglo-Saxon allies, Russia will likely be involved.
